Re: Proposed Ordinance to Modify Administration Building Hours
The Honorable Town Council has previously adopted Ordinances temporarily modifying hours
of operation of the Administration Building beginning in 2002 and through 2015 as outlined in
the attached Ordinance 201545. These Ordinances were the result of negotiations with the
Town Hall Associates as documented in the attached Side Letter of Agreement dated April 29,
2002.
Enclosed please find correspondence from Ms. Lori Moran, on behalf of SEIU 888, requesting the
summer hours for 2016 be from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Therefore, I am requesting the Honorable Town Council adopt the attached Ordinance for the
summer of 2016. The attached Ordinance contains the same provisions and requirements and is
consistent with the previously adopted Ordinance by the Honorable Town Council for the
summer of 2015.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
